Description
This auction item includes lunch for two people with a Major League Baseball Umpire and two (2) tickets to a regular season professional baseball game.
This unique lunch and game experience is perfect for a father and son, or perhaps friends, who share a passion for baseball. It is definitely a unique gift that recipients will remember.
What's it like to be on the field when history is made? What is said at the plate conference before a game? Do you get along with players and what do they think of you? Do you always work the same position on the field? Why are you only shown on ESPN when you are ejecting someone? Fire away with the questions and you'll be surprised what you learn.
Winning bidder chooses from one of eight umpires. The umpires include Ted Barrett, Marvin Hudson, Sam Holbrook, Fieldin Culbreth, Gary Darling, Jim Reynolds, Gary Cederstrom, and Bob Davidson.
You and one friend will spend an hour with the umpire to talk about life in the Big Leagues and all things baseball. The lunch is complimentary. The umpire will also provide tickets to the ballgame that evening.
Are you already a personal friend of the umpire but wish to bid on the experience to support his work with UMPS CARE Charities? That works too!
